In the last week my router has somehow 'switched off' the 2.4GHz wifi band on 4 occasions. On each occasion I log into the router's Advanced Configuration, WLAN, 2.4G Basic Network, to see the SSID Status as 'Disabled'. Re-checking the Enable SSID: box and hitting the Apply button fixes it.
Any ideas what may have suddenly caused this to start happening on this relatively old router that has previously worked fine?
Router details:
Hardware Version: | I.1.01 |
Software Version: | v1.05t |

Hi New Forest Giles
Ok, thank you for letting us know.

Funnily enough ,the router has behaved perfectly since I first posted on Monday.
If it fails again, I'll go for a factory reset the weekend after, when I will have sufficient time.

Hi New Forest Giles
How are you getting on?

Hi
If a factory reset will not re-enable the Wi-Fi channel, then a replacement router will have to be sent.
Thanks
Karl.

Nope, I was hoping to avoid this as I have a high degree of customisation which will take some time to re-configure.
However a factory reset is the logical first step...

Hi New Forest Giles
Have you tried factory resetting the router?
